Wireless power. Now that’s what scientists and manufacturers should be working on. Not those politically and ecologically correct solar power solutions. Not until they come up with some better solar technology, which doesn’t require too much sun exposure in order to recharge an iPod.

Proxim is a company which has developed the first 802.11n wireless router able to achieve a 320Mbps throughput: the AP-8000. In order to attain this rate, it is also dual-radio capable and supports Dynamic Frequency Selection, which is designed to avoid any annoying interference that might be caused by other wireless digital devices and also provides 10 times more wireless channels than the classical 2.4GHz solution.

There are a few other nifty features in this ice-breaking Proxim device. First, this is the first Wi-Fi router which allows 2.4GHz and 5GHz with each 802.11n channel, and second, it is a premier for the 802.3af (also known as Power Over Ethernet). POE is something that might really help a lot of networks. This is designed to allow a router to be powered by a simple Ethernet connection, and become free of the AC adapter. Although it might not seem like much, Power Over Ethernet is part of the environmentally-friendly, “green” trend (as it is meant to conserve energy) and is designed to provide a much more efficient way of powering routers through a network.

When using an AC adapter, much of the power it draws from the socket is lost, hence the heating of the adapter. Lost power results in heat, which we all know isn’t a good thing when it comes to computers. Anyway, the POE thing is good.

At last, you’re probably wondering how much does this top of the line solution cost. Well, a lot. The AP-8000 costs about $1.100, but the company also provides a single radio version which is a bit cheaper, the AP-800 only retailing for about half the price of its bigger brother.
